Jake and I will be there!

Looking forward to seeing everyone. Only a month to go before the big show. Maybe we'll get a bit of a preview of some of the tunes you'll play.

RISGA had a great meeting today. We welcomed two new players. Chris came down from New Hampshire to run through some of the music with the members that will be playing in the show. Thanks Chris, hope your back is better. (Hope Jessie cashes that check for you.)

We have set a date for next years show, it will be Sunday, September 18, 2011.

See everyone at this years show, 4 more weeks.

We had a great meeting today. Lots of good music, good food and most of all, good people! Eddie always amazes me with what he can do with his double neck Rick. Rogers tone was to die for today, and such great execution! I believe we all had a good time today and I am greatful that Marcia does what she does to keep things running so well.
We are all looking forward to the show too. Just four weeks away!

Eddie, My guitar has built-in "idiot licks". It is not smooth and slanty like your non-pedal gem. We had a lot of fun horsing around. Now we have to get serious for the show Sept 19th. RISGA rules.
